About
I am a results-driven PHP developer and Magento 2 backend specialist with 3+ years of hands-on experience building, scaling, and optimizing enterprise-grade web applications and e-commerce platforms. I excel at delivering robust backend solutions using PHP 8+, OOP, MVC, REST APIs, and MySQL optimization, while driving performance improvements and reliable integrations.
I have a proven track record of delivering measurable performance gains (up to 30%) and reducing critical bug backlogs across multi-store Magento 2 environments. I built a full-stack PHP-based Attendance Management System during academic training and am an active contributor to the Magento open-source ecosystem, including a merged core PR. I thrive in Agile teams, translating complex business requirements into scalable, maintainable backend solutions.
